HKTV Culture

At HKTV, we embrace people who are eager to learn and relish challenges. We put a lot of thought and effort into nurturing our people; creating an environment that not only makes work more pleasurable, but is also conducive to a healthy work-life balance. We believe in keeping our people happy, who will in turn produce quality and positive TV programs!

Happy Workplace

1. Paternity Leave for new fathers
The arrival of a new child is a life-transforming experience. Needless to say, it's as significant for the father as it is for the mother. That's why new fathers at HKTV are able to take paternity leave to fully experience the joy of being a father, and to give much needed support to the baby's mother.
2. Recharge at Free Zone
The Free Zone is an area where colleagues can temporarily escape from their hectic schedules and recharge. Large TV screens are available for entertainment and news update. The Free Zone is also a canteen that boasts, among other items, the Executive Chef's delicious, secret recipe and home-made soup.

Talent Management Department

HKTV treats its Talent as "internal VIPs". The Talent Management Department is set up as a strong communication channel for all Talent to express their needs in furthering their careers. The department carefully takes note of all reasonable requests and implements them whenever feasible. Every year, we host Christmas Party for all of our Talents to gather and express our sincere gratitude for their contribution.

In 2011, the Group sent 94 Talents to Cambodia for our annual overseas experiential trip, to visit a number of NGOs & their community centres. The Group hopes throughout the tour, close bonding can be built between Talents across different levels after getting to know each other. Secondly, the Group wishes that the Talents can understand more on love and caring, to understand more on the rich and the poor in this world, so as to love their lives, to treasure what they have and to live passionately.

The Group concerns about the working environment of our Talents. In the past, simple meal boxes were provided to the crew during shooting; started from mid-May, we offers meal arrangement of “Three Dishes and One Soup” prepared by the Executive Chef from our canteen Free Zone for the production crew. This arrangement aims to change the rules of the industry, improve the remuneration level of the industry talents, and also provide a better working environment and atmosphere for our Talents.

Learning and Development

HKTV strongly encourages life-long learning and continuous personal development. To this end, the company invests a considerable amount of effort and money in learning. This includes a subsidy of up to 30% of an employee’s monthly salary for external education and sabbatical leave of up to one year.

At HKTV, we have evolved from Training & Development for skillset, to Learning & Development for mind-set. Among these projects an Enneagram Workshop was tailor-made for our TV Talents, which aims to let them know more about their own and other people’s characters, allowing them to come up with creative ideas base on real persons’ characteristics effectively.

Moreover, in order to prepare for the production of quality 3D TV programs, we have sent our directors to the UK to learn about the latest 3D shooting techniques. Management and the directors also visited the NAB show in Las Vegas, the world’s largest international digital media industry event, so as to broaden their horizons and gain new experiences.

To enhance our Talents’ understanding of the TV industry and offer them a chance to experience the TV program production process, especially the on-site shooting, lighting & audio set up and the synergy of cooperation among the artistes, producers, production crew, make-up artists, hairdressers etc., we organized tours to the shooting location during office hour for non-TV production Talents, which including junior, senior, back office and frontline Talents.

With HKTV’s continuing strategy towards people excellence, we are committed to offer a wide range of workshops, sharing sessions and opportunities to all Talents that build individual competencies and help driving the business forward. We believe that HKTV offers each Talent not only a job, but also a path for personal and career growth.

HKTV aims at providing a high quality of entertainment experience and TV programs for the audience, bringing Hong Kong back into the position of Asian drama production hub. I challenge you to help the company accomplish this goal and thank you for your interests in our company. Continue to strive for the best is our way of life.

Trainee Programme

We have over 10 years experience in offering trainee programme and had been well recognized in our talent development. If you want to experience the joy of success, to fulfill your true potential, and to have a career rather than merely a job, HKTV is the best place for you. To perfectly match your specific strengths and career goals with our business needs, and to foster the next generation of management, we have developed two trainee programmes: "Graduate Trainee Programme for Professional Development" and "Management Trainee Programme for Horizontal Development" in the past.

To nurture our pipeline of professional Talents in the TV Industry, we designed a brand new TV trainee program in 2012. The artiste trainees, creative trainees and production trainees will undergo 4-6 months of on-the-job training provided by seasoned Creative Directors, Chief Directors - Drama Production and professional trainers. Apart from training, they will visit the TV program filming location to experience the production process and attach to different creative and production teams.
